Turn it on.

I don't bother with end reduction in it, since you can't do anything that affects more than yourself with it on. I use the default slot for a LotG or Karma KB protection.

Because they haven't gotten to it yet.

They will get it eventually. They will probably adjust damage values for scrappers a little, since they don't want it completely overshadowing BS and MA for ST damage.

You actually already play on the servers with the best population at those hours.

Freedom just has a high population in general, and Justice is the Unofficial Australian Server. There are a lot of people that play in the middle of the night there.

I think it has to do with the fact that very rarely will you be the only one dealing damage to any particular zombie. Everyone is throwing AoEs around and the xp is split between everyone who hit that zombie. If 20 people all do equal damage to one zombie, that xp is split 20 different ways.

Also, zombies scale to your own level automatically, it is impossible to kill an uplevel zombie. You get even con xp whether you are level 1 or level 49.

Heh, I was teamed with a guy who had 3 travel powers, and refused to use any of them. He was playing a tank and told us it was our JOB to get him to the mission. He was a crappy tank, but thought he was the greatest thing to ever grace the game.

Next thing seen in the chat window was: "Jackholetank has been kicked from the team" He sent me a tell saying that we sucked and wouldn't get anywhere without him.

We went faster without him. He insisted that everything be herded. He herded TWO minions, and complained when I one-shotted both of them.

On topic:

Fly is slow because it doesn't have the limitations of the other travel powers. Teleport can run you out of endurance in midair, Super Jump leaves you vulnerable to attack when you hit the ground (which is made worse by the fact that, by the time you get close enough to see the mobs it's too late to change your trajectory), Super Speed has no vertical mobility.

I like all of them except teleport, the one I choose depends a lot on the AT and powersets of the character.

Eh, maybe not.

It's not a horrible idea, it's just kinda vague.

Need more details. Can't say if I like it or not if I don't know what the powers in question would be.

I've hit 300 or so with my Sonic/Devices while Speed Boosted. (It's the only way I hit high enough levels of recharge for my chain to be completely seamless)

That's running the generally accepted chain of Shriek-Scream-Shriek-Shout.

After about 2 revolutions of my chain my Shout is breaking 600 per activation, and Sonic's attacks have a pretty consistent DPA across them. Shriek is usually hitting for about 325-350 by that point. That's with no procs anywhere in the build, could probably get it higher with procs.

The downside to it is: You have to keep attacking to keep your DPS up, since it relies so much on Defiance and resistance debuff. Once your target is dead and you switch you have to build it up again.

I haven't encountered much, if anything, that can outdamage a Sonic blaster in the long run. In the short term there is a lot that can.

An Ill/Rad Troller on Pinnacle has soloed the STF. Duos have happened a few times.

No one I know of has ever pulled off the LRSF solo.

Not really, I moderate myself so I don't get banned. I could be a real ***hole if I were so inclined.

Lol, I was playing my Fire/TA troller a while back and a blaster on a PuG was complaining that I wasn't healing him.

Me: "Sorry, I didn't take the Heal Arrow"
Idiot blaster: "Why would you skip your heal?!"

I got a good laugh out of that one.

Go for it.

It is. I still use Conserver power now and then, but I'm not hurting without it anymore.
